C5 Corvette Engine Bay Cleaning 

Lol it does look like a lot but I had it on the fine spray setting. Covers very well and I like the no touch aspect of it. Does ok for trim but not that great. Same with tires, it's just ok. Engine bay is great tho. You're trying megs and I wanna try Adam's lol. It's decent stuff for the price and diluting it is what makes it awesome and last a long time.

Doing my own this year. Amazon sent me The dressing but it was an empty bottle from the description link. Did I miss something ?

I appreciate the support. You'll love the car and good luck with it

@@YellowVette04 do you mind me asking this question, I was under the hood wanting to change the air filter I noticed that the oem box was replaced with one of those dual cold air cones things, in your opinion which is better? If I keep what I have are those easy to maintain? Thanks

Water splashes into the engine bay when driving on mostly ever car. All electrical connections are water tight. Just as long as you don't use a pressure washer to vigorously and spray water into the intake you'll be OK. Thanks for watching

Thanks man. He's out there right now making a dust cloud. I'll have to do this again next week lol.

Yes, the PCM is under the battery. Those cable connections are water tight. You don't want to overdo it with water, but rinsing is fine. The engine bay gets wet when driving, so it's all made to get wet.

You can definitely take it to a detailer and they'll do anything you ask for. I understand that cleaning it can worry you but you have nothing to worry about. All components in the engine bay are designed to get wet from splashing water. Splashing water is going to happen when you drive it, unless you don't take it out when there's water on the road. Just don't soak anything or apply to much water pressure to connectors and other components. You could also spray cleaner in a rag and just wipe down every surface. Either way you'll like a clean engine bay better. Good luck with the car and nice color.

Hahahaha I like my $20 leaf blower

Correct, could also cause wiper motors to short out.

@@YellowVette04 I'm giving you the name now you're going to become the C5 encyclopedia :)

I've been called worse lol

Thanks man. I picked up a lot of these tips and supplies from various youtubers. These products may not be the best but they do the job and the price is right.

You'll be ok, just don't overly soak anything. Cover exposed air filter if you have one and caution around the alternator. You'll be fine.

YellowVette04 thanks for the tips! My motor thanks you too haha

😂

The drain udders under the cowl are really important. Depending on the previous owner they're either empty or packed full. If packed full, you run into issues with water. Just make sure all 4 are clear. One on passenger side and 3 on driver's ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Sr9rSAW1kzE.html

@@YellowVette04 I didn't know they were a thing. I'll check them out.

I didn't either until I had a puddle of water in my passenger footwell which could have been a lot worse.

@@YellowVette04 that def raises some concern

Thanks buddy. Hate how it got that bad but what can ya do. Thanks as always 👍

That'll definitely help get the loose stuff out of the way. Great tip. Thanks for watching and sharing

I'll definitely look into it. Thanks for the product recommendation and thanks for watching

Came out great man. Glad the tips helped. Much easier to maintain now that you got the bulk of it off. Good luck with the car and you'll love it 👍

Appreciate it Rico 👌

Not too bad off Process, just don't overly soak it with water. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍

Good luck at the show! Thanks for watching and I appreciate the comment

Lol I don't even remember

Got em from TSP, here's a link for their C6 headers and offroad x-pipe. Select the year range in the drop down. I don't see a catted x-pipe version. www.texas-speed.com/p-3198-tsp-c6-corvette-1-78-long-tube-header-3-off-road-x-pipe-package-w-02-extensions.aspx

Texas Speed headers, Texas Speed Catted X-Pipe and Billy Boat Bullets. If you're just doing an axle back the bullets will be a nice upgrade with a little drone. If you're going to do headers back then the drone gets pretty bad, but I didn't mind it. Now I have a BTR Stage 2 cam and it really drones lol. I will probably change out the bullets to something else down the road just to limit the drone.

TSP headers, TSP catted x-pipe and Billy Boat Bullets. It drones but I don't mind it at all. I plan on making a video soon because I get this question a lot.

That's a great idea. Thanks for watching and the suggestion.

Give the lady in the red dress a bath.

@@YellowVette04 haha. Awesome.

Welcome to the vette community. You'll love the car. The Corvette Forum and RU-vid have a lot of info if you ever need it. Good luck with it and thanks for watching.

You've been using the wrong type of dressing. Use a water based dressing that isn't greasy and you'll be fine. Many water based dressings dry to the touch and there is no residue left behind. Whatever dust and dirt that is in your engine bay, would be there regardless.

@@YellowVette04 still not required at all !! I never use any form of dressing on an engine bay .

👍 A lot of things in life aren't required...

Thanks man. I see that hood popped all the time on yours and it's always looking good.

Thanks man. It's a simple process.

Thanks and thanks for watching 👍

Modern alternators can get wet. I wouldn't soak it, but as long as your cautious around it you'll be ok. Putting a bag over it would be fine too.

@@YellowVette04 Thanks, Great vids!

Thanks for the continued support 👍
